...Things have not always been so exciting for Selig; aside from his role in the Brewers move, his career in baseball was fairly unremarkable until the early 1990s. That's when Selig led the movement to oust then-commissioner Fay Vincent, whom Selig, and others decried as too deferential to the players.
